57 Authority to Act section 68(6) Crown Entities Act 2004 During the financial year, the Commission was invited by the Cabinet to review the Civil List Act 1979. The Act includes the amount of payments to former Members of Parliament and Prime Ministers. However, these payments are not within the scope of the review. Notwithstanding this, the Commissioner responsible for the review, Sir Geoffrey Palmer, is entitled to certain payments under the Act. This interest was disclosed to the Minister Responsible for the Law Commission, the Hon Annette King, who gave her permission under section 68 of the Crown Entities Act 2004 for Sir Geoffrey to continue in his role as Commissioner in charge of the review.
